Hi folks,
I have a stock 360 slim where the DVD drive quit working. The tray still works but it apparently won't read - the only option is to eject the disk after insertion. I suspect I need to replace either the laser or whole DVD drive. I've done lots of repairs on original 360 consoles (RROD, replaced DVD Drive, replaced lasers, better heatsinks and cooling etc.) but never worked on a slim.
I've looked around this and a few other forums and found information, but all of the posts are several years old and I just want to be sure that the information is still good. Can anyone point me to:
A.) A good DVD replacement tutorial, and
B.) A good source for replacement parts
I see them on Ebay and Amazon for around $20 - but not sure which model I need.
Here are my console stats:
Mfr date : 2010-11-17
Model : 1439
Dashboard : 2.0.17526.0
DVD Drive : Lite-On (based on the pictures in another post here - I can't post a link because I'm a newbie here)
Any help greatly appreciated!
